About
Yamada Nishiki rice from Kuchiyoshikawa in Hyogo Prefecture is generously polished down to 35%. Polishing the rice results in a clean, refined sake free of unwanted off-flavors. In brewing, the most important focus is the handling of raw materials. Good-quality sake rice is treated with great care, and the soaking time, the drying of the steamed rice after cooling, and the temperature of the steamed rice at the time of mashing are all adjusted according to the condition of the rice and the climate. Fermentation is carried out at a low temperature over a long period, which gives the sake a very rich and aromatic character. Made from well-polished, high-quality sake rice, it offers a refined flavor that unfolds mellowly on the palate. It is a masterpiece crafted with the full devotion of the brewers.
